TODO:

I currently manage my dive sites by hand-editing the XML. At present, if 
I enter Times Square as a dive site and tell Subsurface to create a new 
site, it happily does so without also creating the coordinates. So, two 
things:
1) Allow coordinate selection from marble, as previously.
2) Allow text entry of coordinates as previously.

Currently, when I enter Times Square, it says "create a dive site" with 
a + to the right. If the + is chosen, then a panel should open as 
suggested in the *attached image*. If "Enter coordinates from world map" 
is chosen, then the orange bar at the top of the globe is activated, 
allowing a click on the globe to be saved. If text is used, there is a 
suitable text box. For me, it would mean a lot if there is a clear 
indication whether the text coordinates have (not) been accepted. 
Clicking the Apply or the Cancel button (or a click on the globe) closes 
the panel. I assume that import from the Companion Ap would follow the 
usual dialogue, not involved here. The above would be mostly the 
existing code base with minimal new programming.

Absolutely. I will be in the US from Sept 11-Oct 9th but I am available 
most of that time.

A smaller addition is the work that Miika has put into reading text APD 
CCR dive log dumps into Subsurface.
